Children’s ability to learn could be defined by considering their capacity to stay focus. The notion of attention represents the cornerstone of every leaning process. Yet it could be influenced by the type of foods children eat. Some nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins are essential for the well-functioning of the body. When children keep skipping breakfast this could impair their academic performance (Diane Tomlinson, Heather Wilkinson & Paul Wilkinson 2009).
This topic is socially relevant because when children follow an appropriate diet they will learn better. It will also help parents to choose foods that are required to boost children capacity to stay focus. It would be very beneficial for society because when students do better at school, this would affect positively all areas of their life. However, some aspect remains debatable because children often do not really like foods that sustain the learning process. To solve this problem it would be crucial to find a way to make it pleasurable for kids to follow a diet that promotes their ability to learn.
It would be very interesting for me to conduct a research on this topic because I would like to be a counselor, and I am currently a dialysis technician. As a counselor, my work would be to encourage kids to make good choice when it comes to food that would help them in their learning.
